Auto Analyst Says Chrysler Will Die Aid Or No Aid

Filed under Autos

Chrysler won’t make it even with federal assistance, so says one prominent industry analyst.

With executives from America’s three largest automakers seeking billions of dollars of aid money from the federal government, the question that often pops up is whether the automakers will need additional funding down the road several months hence. The question that isn’t being asked is this one: will the aid actually do any good?

One analyst, Michael Robinet, CSM vice president of global vehicle forecasts, says that as far as Chrysler is concerned, the aid money won’t save the company.

Ford SVT Raptor: A Truck To Enrapture The Imagination!

Filed under Autos

Big trucks are back including the Ford SVT Raptor, perhaps the most powerful pickup truck available today.

The Ford Motor Company has certainly been taking its lumps over the
past few years, with 2008 likely to go down as one of the worst years
in the company’s history. Sales are down, consumer credit is tight, and
fluctuating gas prices has wreaked havoc on an already strained
industry.

Ford’s
champion, the F-150 pickup truck, has seen its sales drop sharply as
buyers avoid vehicles that consume copious amounts of gasoline in favor
of smaller, lighter vehicles which squeeze out every drop of fuel
possible. That shift has caught Ford off guard as their most fuel
efficient cars can be found in Europe while its American operation
leans toward heavier, more powerful vehicles.
